In order to effectively manage the 1.98 million reserve forces that will be added soon, Du Ruhui proposed that a military service bureau be set up in the Privy Council to oversee the work of reserves, conscription, and the resettlement of non-commissioned officers.

At the same time, the Governor's Yamen, and the county, government, and county yamen were all set up with corresponding military service divisions (divisions), which were vertically managed by the Privy Council.

In this way, the problem of resettlement of non-commissioned officers and soldiers has been solved, as well as the problem of reserve management.

The 2 million troops that have been dismantled this time, as well as the soldiers who have been laid off several times before, are required to conduct regular military training under the auspices of the local military service department.

In this way, as long as the war is necessary, the imperial court can recruit two or three million veterans with military training and even rich combat experience in a very short period of time and return to the battlefield.

With such a background, except for Great Xia, other dynasties will never be able to do it.

Another advantage of setting up a military service bureau is that it can properly accommodate a group of officers and generals.

According to the latest establishment of the Great Xia Army, each corps has abolished the establishment of one division and regiment, and 99 corps is equivalent to abolishing 99 division commanders.

In addition to division commanders, brigade commanders and battalion commanders must abolish a number of officers, and the scale is even larger.

For ordinary soldiers, the imperial court can issue a retirement settlement payment, but these officers cannot be treated in this way, and must be given treatment equal to their rank.

Otherwise, who will shed blood for the empire in the future.

According to the Programme, there are three types of destinations for the dismissed officers. The first is to be transferred to the theater command, group army headquarters, army headquarters, division headquarters, and brigade headquarters.

In particular, the last four are the key construction targets of this military reform, and a group of officers will continue to be supplemented.

The second is to enter the Military Service Administration and serve in the military service agencies established by the yamen at all levels.

It's also a good place to go, far from the front-line battlefields, but still retains military status, and to some extent, even some high-ranking positions.

The third is to arrange for posts in the Privy Council, the Military Aircraft Department, or public security agencies at all levels.

This puts forward higher requirements for the administrative ability of generals, which are beyond the competence of ordinary fierce generals. And once competent, he will be a good hand and inject fresh blood into the court.

With these three points, we can basically make proper arrangements for the officers who have been laid off. If you can't find a suitable position in these three places, it can only mean that the officer himself is not qualified.

The third major part of the "Plan" is aimed at the long-term planning of the theater after disarmament.

According to the imperial strategy, the main theaters can be divided into the Central Plains, Southeast Asia, South Asia, West Asia, North Asia, Africa, and the Americas.

This means that the empire will need to form seven major theaters in the future. Up to now, only the Southeast, Southwest, Northwest, and African Theaters have been established, and a major readjustment is needed.

The adjustment of the theater of operations will inevitably affect the adjustment of the jurisdiction and subordination of the Zhulu Group Army, which seems to be very simple, but in fact it involves the deepest and most difficult task, and requires Ouyang Shuo to make an independent decision.

In view of the fact that the war in Tibet had not yet ended, the Mongol Empire had not yet been annexed, and China had not been truly unified, Ouyang Shuo decided to put aside the plan for the war zone for the time being and wait for the end of the year to discuss it.

Of course, shelving the theater plan is not the same as shelving the "plan", Ouyang Shuo quickly passed the approval of the "plan", and the secret pavilion sent a copy of the "plan" to the cabinet and the governors of the provinces.

The cabinet is responsible for the coordination of military spending, and the provincial governor yamen is responsible for the docking of retired soldiers in advance.

This disarmament involves both military and political terms, covering the entire territory of the empire, so naturally the sooner it is launched, the better.

…………

With the approval of the "Plan", there was no war in Daxia except for the Tubo battlefield, and this disarmament was soon launched, striving to completely land before the spring of next year, so that the Daxia army would take on a new look.

The first to move were the Praetorian Guard, the Yulin Army, and the City Guard.

The three directly subordinate group armies need to set an example for the whole army, and within one month, complete the screening of the targets for retrenchment, the readjustment of the military structure, and the transfer of subordinates between the arms.

Only when the three directly subordinate group armies are mobilized can the other group armies follow the trend.

In fact, as early as the beginning of the year, before the launch of the battle for the unification of China, Ouyang Shuo had informed the commanders of the theaters and the commanders of the group armies and mentioned the upcoming disarmament.

By July, the four countries had surrendered, the Central Plains had been unified, and the news of disarmament had been transmitted to the division level.

Although the imperial court had not yet come up with a specific disarmament plan, it had given them plenty of time to consider which soldiers could be included in the list of retrenchment.

Therefore, when the "plan" is officially implemented, the generals will already have a bottom in their hearts.

Ouyang Shuo had reason to believe that with the discipline and execution of the Great Xia Army, he could complete this great disarmament and transformation of great significance before March of the eighth year of Gaia.

October 10, Ögedai Khanate.

Under the guidance of Mongolian guides, Wang Ben led 70,000 elite cavalry, trekking all the way through mountains and rivers, and after a week of rapid marching, he finally came to the western passage connecting the Western Turks and Tibet, the Tangbo Ancient Road.

There was a military fortress at the ancient road crossing, which was garrisoned by the Mongol army and was called Kantam Pasha Fort.

Because of the topographical relationship, the ancient castle of Hantan Mu Pasha is the same as the sword pavilion of Shudi, quite has the momentum of "one man is the key to ten thousand people", and the army left the ancient castle and entered the hinterland of the west of Tibet.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, Wang Ben's troops rushed out of the castle under the watchful eyes of the Mongol army.

As soon as he left the gate of the castle, the deputy general came to Wang Ben's side and said worriedly: "Young marshal, how do I feel that those Mongolians look at us very unfriendly." ”

Wang Ben just smiled: "The Mongols are under the oppression of the empire, and they have to borrow the Tao unconditionally, and it is normal for them to feel uncomfortable. If you really greet each other with a smile, then it's not normal. ”

"But I always feel a little panicked." The lieutenant general is still a little unrelieved.

Wang Ben ignored it anymore and said, "Let's think about it, how to complete the task assigned by the command, if you want to attack the enemy's food route, it is not so easy to do." The day before yesterday, the headquarters also sent information that the Ashoka Dynasty had mobilized another 500,000 forbidden troops into Tibet, but no trace of them had been captured. ”

"Don't worry, young marshal, let more scouts go out, and expand the scope of investigation, the last general won't believe it, those guys can still fly away." The lieutenant is very confident.

Wang Ben nodded and didn't say anything more.

…………

Just as Wang Ben's troops entered the western border of Tibet, the 500,000 forbidden troops of the Ashoka Dynasty were disguised and mixed in a long line of grain transporters, crossed the border, and headed all the way east.

If nothing else, the two armies will meet unexpectedly.
